We are cast for the festival, however coming up in October, we will be producing Canadian playwright, Michael Redhill's, Building Jerusalem, directed by Tristan Ross. We're calling it a "play for our times," because it absolutely is.

So, If you're interested in this project, or future projects, with us, we would very much love to meet you...or see you, again! We had such amazing luck, last time!

And now, for something completely different...

We're about to start work on our *15* original IndyFringe production, and we are THRILLED to be bringing 2 BRAND NEW faces to the team, for LOLCow by Casey Ross!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“LOLCow: Noun, plural—LOLCows...Internet slang—derogatory, in nature—for a person whose eccentric or foolish behavior can be exploited to amuse an audience.”

In a ‘wild west’ of morality, like the Internet, Luke prides himself in upholding his rules of what makes a deserving target for online trolling. He lives by standards such as “...great LOLCows are not good people”, until a fresh new scandal around his star subject, Jasper, brings to light all the flaws in having rules for navigating the Internet—because rules, and those who make them, are only made to be broken, online...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
LUKE...TONY THOMPSON
JASPER...DUSTIN MILLER

DIRECTED AND CONCEPTUALLY DESIGNED BY CASEY ROSS
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LOLCow is a play about the darker parts of ourselves found within society's new boom of technological autonomy...you know, like the comment section of YouTube, for example.

"More allegory than history, the power of this production is tangible in its performance – so incredible that, like the Emperor, all we can say is a bewildered “There it is!” " -PWJ&J
